We did a photoshoot for a home called Miracle Mission in Kensington B a little while ago – what a wonderful place filled with amazing people…. It is a home started by two sisters Cindy and Glynis who had always dreamed of running a home for abandoned babies…..

They currently have 9 children in the home – 4 bigger kids and the rest are all babies. The 4 older chidlren stay at the home permanently as they cannot get adopted – they are HIV and little Daisy has downs syndrome. They really are beautiful children (but yes I really love children…)

Their names are Rosie, Irene, Amos and Daisy. The smaller babies are never at the home for more than about a year as they usually get adopted within that timeframe. But it is a wonderful one and the children are well taken care of and given lots and lots of love!!!

We went there to take some photographs for their Christmas Card which we are going to design and print for them and we had such fun with all the Christmas goodies. When I came back I told a few of my friends about the place and they all asked the same question: “wasn’t it sad to be there?” To be honset, I was never sad. This is not the first time I have visited the home and every time I have felt priviledged to be part of something so special. The children have their own rooms (the 3 older girls share a room) the rooms are filled with photographs and teddy bears and the place just oozes love…. I think there are a lot of children living with their own families that are far worse off than these beautiful children. Just goes to show what a dream and a heart filled with love can do….

Personally, I get so much from being a part of this kind of place and I am honoured to be able to help in some tiny way. I get far more out of the whole experience than I am actually giving!!! (even though I had a little accident on my way home from there…lol)
